Typical anti-gun rant

Sat., Jan. 23, 2016

Rusty Nelson’s letter (“Firearms glorified,” Jan. 15) on gun violence is just another example of a typical left-wing rant concerning the Second Amendment. He states that if Americans can’t bear arms without feeling they must shoot somebody, the Second Amendment has outlived its usefulness. Really?

Well, I submit that such comments lead me to believe the First Amendment may have outlived its usefulness.
